The Bruce Roberts 43 represents one of the most prolific blue-water cruising designs in the history of amateur and semi-professional yacht building. First drawn in 1969 by Australian designer Bruce Roberts-Goodson, the design was conceived to provide a rugged, ocean-capable platform that could be constructed using a variety of methods and materials. According to the Bruce Roberts Official Site, more than 2,000 examples are estimated to be in service globally, making it a ubiquitous sight in cruising hubs from the Caribbean to the South Pacific. The 43 is not a single uniform model but a family of designs; the two primary iterations are the "Mauritius 43," which features a center cockpit with a long coach house, and the "Norfolk 43," a flush-deck version of the same hull. Because these boats were frequently sold as plans or kits, the finished products range from professionally built masterpieces to amateur projects of varying quality.
